Let’s sew hair accessories! Here you’ll find
a collection of over thirty great headband,
barrette, and fabric scrunchie patterns
and tutorials from all over the web!
Have fun sewing your hair accessories by
using colorful fabrics. Or better yet,
because hair accessory projects require
very little fabric, they can be a great way
to use up those little scraps of fabric you
have lying around that were leftover from
other projects.
If you'll be making a stretch headband and
working with a knit fabric (or sewing
through elastic), just remember to use a
ballpoint or stretch needle in your sewing
machine (this needle is made to slide
between the fibers of your knit fabric instead of piercing them). And sew your seams with a
special stretch stitch or a tiny zigzag stitch (if you don't have a serger) so that your seams will
stretch with your fabric.
A few of the projects listed call for working with felt, which can be a great fabric for a beginner
to work with because it doesn’t fray and therefore doesn’t need hemming or seam finishing.
And many of these project don’t even require a sewing machine and just call for simple hand-
stitching instead.
